Correct, KP, this is absolute dross. Rotherham should be 3 up by now whereas we have not had a single shot on target. Their centre-forward is holdin...
@ken Thanks yet again, Ken for some enjoyable reads. Loesser had a reputation as being a bit of a rebel, but his wife was supposedly even more an...
@malcolm Good post, Malcolm. It's interesting that you still recall the manner of Strachan's leaving, which was indeed to his credit. It will ha...
@original-fat-bob All the best, Bob. Hope it goes well
Th Tom Bower Book is Broken Dreams published in 2003.
Whenever a manager recruits players from a limited geographic area it sends red lights flashing for me. Of course it can be truthfully said that th...
Thanks, Ken, for your tireless work on this thread. Your work on Porter, Gershwin, Berlin et al, creators of what is now recognised as the Great Ameri...
To see the Boro-Brentford game free we have to register with something called FA Player. It's a bit of a faff on so I'd advise that Boro fans do it e...
@plato I agree about the great Colin Bell. I was at that Bury match and he looked like a tremendous player and a star of the future even then. He al...
@redcarred Agreed. The best possible news we could have had. Really increases our chances of making the play-offs. I'd like to see Watmore and Tav...
I once heard Tommy Lawton give a first-hand account on one of the reasons why Shack never played for England again. In a coaching session with Engla...
Awful start from Boro, but from 15 minutes we have dominated the game and are well worth our lead via a smartly taken debut goal from Browne and a Tav...
Happy New Year to all. Really sorry to hear about your situation,Ken. Surely 2021 can only get better for us all.
In his post-match comments NW wouldn't "name names " for the defensive mistakes that cost us the game. Fair enough. Yet he had no hesitation in sa...
A bad defeat in a game we dominate and should have won. Poor team selection cost us. We missed Tav in the first half. As soon as he came on in the ...
Boro the better side with far more of the ball, and Bettinelli not having a save to make, but two poor pieces of defending by McNair and Dijksteel gif...
Do not understand Tav's dropping. But a strong bench if and when we need it.
@ken Dooley's injury was similar to Clough's in that they both involved collisions with the keeper, but I'm not sure about the precise details of th...
Following on from Ken's typically excellent Wednesday history, one of the highlight's of my youth was the pleasure of seeing the young Derek Dooley at...
After Monk and Pulis, surely Wednesday's next logical choice of gaffer has to be Woodgate to complete their hat-trick of employing failed ex-Boro boss...
Comments on Atsu from Newcatle fans could scarcely be worse. They describe him as the worst player ever to play for the club, not fit for the Northern...
Merry Christmas to all friends and contributors who have made this blog one of my must-reads every day of the past year. Stay safe, get the vaccine ev...
A great win and a triumph of organisation, team spirit and togetherness, typified by George Saville's gutsy, all-action M-o-M performance. Morsy, ...
What a turn up This is Huddersfield in reverse. Blues totally dominant for 25 minutes and getting a well deserved goal Us not at the races, then t...
Best wishes to you both, RR. Hope it goes well. Don't fancy the team NW's put out. No Watmore, Spence or Akpom. We are relying on Britt and Wing...
Excellent report, RR, and much as I saw it. The dominant narrative at the club this week has been about the thinness of the squad, avoiding injuries...
Boro came out for the second half with the required higher tempo and got the goal they needed. Bettinelli"s spillage of a routine shot led to Morsy'...
